Heading North of the Grassy Plains

Alna said that if we headed north, we’d reach monster territory. There must have been a dungeon somewhere nearby, because monsters appeared there fairly often. The plan was to head in that direction, hunt a few monsters, and bring their materials back to trade for a well and a privy.

Alna ran ahead of me with a skip in her step, then spun around to look at me.

“I’m not just good at doing things around the home,” said Alna. “I’m also good at magic, and that’s going to handle the monster search for us!”

Her eyes sparked with a certain expectation, and I wasn’t exactly sure how best to respond.

“That’s quite something,” I said.

Alna burst into another blinding smile, and jumped around even more. To be honest though, I didn’t really know what to make of Alna’s recent change in attitude, and it gnawed at me.

I mean, I’m glad that we’ll be able to get along well while we’re living together, but...

Before I could finish the thought, Alna stopped. We’d arrived at our destination, and Alna drew an arrow and looked around. There was a great rocky mountain nearby, and a cold wind blew from it—that could have been why there was so little grass around the area. We certainly weren’t in the plains anymore. It was much more like a desolate wasteland. A few stray strands of grass poked up from among the stone beneath our feet, but it was otherwise lifeless.

Jagged rocks were scattered all over the place, and it really felt like we were in monster territory now. We walked around for a time, finding nothing, and that’s when Alna’s eyes lit up. She turned to me and said it was time to put her magic to work.

I nodded and told her I was ready, and she nodded back happily before walking a little ways from me. Then she closed her eyes and began to utter a chant of some kind. The first thing to respond was the horn from her forehead. Though it glowed blue when she used it on me before, it now began to emit a white light, which spread as if melting into the air.

Next, the jewels braided into Alna’s hair began to glow. They emitted the same light as her horn as they floated, drifting around her as though pulling at her hair. The light from her horn and hair jewels continued to glow for a time, then suddenly swelled as a portion of it turned red, and all the light gathered around it.

The clump of red light formed into a sharp spear, which pointed to the north. Alna touched the light, stopped her chanting, and opened her eyes.

“I found one,” she said, “and it’s big. I think this monster might be the reason we haven’t seen any smaller monsters around here. It’s further to the north, near the base of the mountain. Like I said, it’s big, and that means it could be dangerous.”

Gone was the bright and bubbly Alna from moments ago.
